Physical displays or virtual windows? For physical displays, pressing Windows+shift+arrows moves a window between monitors and reports it, but I'm not sure how to query which display a window is on without moving it.
For virtual windows, If you press Windows+tab it opens the task view window with the current app active. Press tab once to the list of desktops. The focus starts on the first desktop. Press right arrow to move through and the one which doesn't say "not selected" is active
When I did win+shift+left and right, or win+alt/left and right, not entirely sure what the difference is, both NVDA and Narrator report the window is now on "display 1 2". it seems to report this for both displays so I'm not sure how that is meant to be helpful
Maybe an oddity in your version of Windows (since both Narraotr and NVDA report it)? I just tried again here and it definitely reads "WINDOW TITLE maximised on display 1" or "...on display 2". I'm using Windows 11 25h2 build 26200.7623 with the screen set to "extend". Actually, could you have your window NOT maximised, but windowed and showing partly on both screens?
